Polka Dots and Stripes Oh My


On one of my thrifting escapades I found this 100% silk top and striped skirt…..I love them paired together…rockin the mixed prints look. 

But that’s not the best part….let me reveal the total check out price for both items……
$3.00
Yep, that’s right, I said it $3.00……I paid $1.50 for the top and $1.50 for the skirt……WooHoo!!!


Can I get a high five up top???  But wait…… there is more….. I found the same skirt in another color…yes ma’am….that was a great thrifting day. It’s the thrill of the hunt when it comes to thrifting…you never know what you’re going to find.  I felt like a million bucks….


My Club Monaco lucent necklace was a gift from a friend…..loving it!

  1. Cute and very different. I don't think I would have the courage to wear it without seeing it on someone. I think it was a good fashion risk. I think you made it work and made it kind of conservative too. Good job Fashionista!!!!

  23. You mix prints like a beast. And not just prints, but colors too! This is such a bold look, but you pull it off really well. I envy your clutch. And my goodness, those are some nice deals! I wish you could come thrifting with me and use your magic powers to summon some amazing finds. I'm afraid I don't have those magic powers.
